If you are a design engineer, it pays for you to know how and why EMI testing is conducted, as well as the typical causes of failure. If you are an EE, you want to know why EMI testing is done, how it is conducted, and what the typical failures are, even if a special department or an outside EMI company does the actual testing. This course gives you the EMI information you need including design considerations at both CAE and CAD level.
